Google Maps info window too big! MUST CONTROL!

August 24, 2007 9:55 AM

How do I control the size of the info window on my Google Maps?

I'm using the "My Maps" function on Google Maps, but (at least in IE6) the info windows are at least 535 pixels wide, no matter how much (or how little) content goes inside.

That means when I imbed my map on a page and click on an icon, the info window overwhelms the map. Grrr.

In Firefox, it looks fine.

I've tried futzing with the HTML of the windows, but that doesn't control the size of the window itself.

Here's my test map.

I tried searching the google maps group and couldn't find a direct answer.

Help? Halp? Hope?

This dude has the same problem. I doubt there's a way to fix it.
